Amanda Adams and Nicole Mueller: Artists and Creative Entrepreneurs
Beyond the Studio is a podcast about the business of being an artist, brought to you by hosts Amanda Adams and Nicole Mueller.
Hear more from Julia Halperin, arts and culture journalist, on why structural progress is so slow to manifest in the art world, the sobering realities about representation of female-identifying and Black American artists with new data to back it up from the Burns Halperin Report, how to actually create change from the inside out within museums, using data collection to shape decisions in our own personal lives, how frustratingly arbitrary legacy-defining moments in the arts can seem, and why she's interested in telling stories that haven't been told yet.
